Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge was in Miami last night to see the Miami Heat defeat the Brooklyn Nets 96-94 to clinch the Playoff series 4-1.
With the win, the reigning NBA Champions advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for a fourth straight year where they will face the winner of the Washington Wizards vs. Indiana Pacers series.
Forward LeBron James led the Heat with 29 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Guard Dwyane Wade finished with 28 points while Chris Bosh added 16 points.
Sturridge, who was this week selected by England for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, is a Heat fan and tweeted the following message during the game:
Having a great time at the #nbaplayoffs @NBAUK it’s been a pleasure. Supporting @MiamiHEAT. #letsgoheat!!!
